Cookie Usage

The website summerbo.at is using a total of 3 cookies. These cookies are mandatory for the usage of the website. Below you will find the specific cookies we use and the reason why we are using them.

PHPSESSID

This cookie is used to make sure that our php scripts keep on working. Think about the registration and login pages that use PHP to post or request info from our database. Also the attendee list and countdown use PHP to make sure they give the right information.

cookieconsent_dismissed

This cookie is used to save that you pressed the Accept cookie button. Otherwise it would ask every time you open the website to accept the cookies. There is no reject button because all the cookies we use are mandatory to have a functional website.

cfduid

The __cfduid cookie is used to identify individual clients behind a shared IP address and apply security settings on a per-client basis. For example, if a visitor is in a coffee shop where there may be several infected machines, but the specific visitor's machine is trusted (for example, because they completed a challenge within your Challenge Passage period), the cookie allows Cloudflare to identify that client and not challenge them again. It does not correspond to any user ID in your web application, and does not store any personally identifiable information.

External cookies

To reduce spam and make sure the registration system is not abused by bots we also make use of Google's ReCAPTCHA service. Therefore Google is adding cookies to your device to check if you are human or a bot.

Google is collecting data from your internet connection, current cookies, browser information and more. For more information about what Google is collecting and using for ReCAPTCHA see the Privacy Policy of Google.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 3, 2019

We believe that being as transparent as possible about collecting and processing is the most important thing in maintaining a good relationship with our attendees and users. Because of this we hope you feel safe to use our website and services.

That is the basic purpose of this privacy policy.

1. Basic information you share with us

To make sure we can do our job, we require some information from you, the user. The information is used to make sure that we can deliver the services to you. For example the right badge, making sure the right people are at the party and we can share the list of attendees with emergency departments in case of an emergency.

1.1 Public information

Some information or details you give to us will be used public. On the website or in physical form. Think about your Nickname, Registration Number, Fursuiter info, Sponsor and Country. The Nickname will be used on the badge and on the website. Your Nickname can also be put on the public available Attendee List. More information about that is found in chapter 1.1.1 or on the page of the attendee list itself.

1.1.1 Attendee List

The Attendee list is a listy where all the Nicknames of the attendees will be displayed for the party. This option is automatically ticked during the registration but can be turned off during registration or later on the user page. You are always welcome to remove yourself from the list, via the user page or by sending an e-mail to us.

1.2 Private information

We also request a few private details to make sure that during the party and registration it is really you. The following information is used only private and not shared to any other instance/company or used outside of our system. We are using the First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, Password and Email address only for legal purposes.
The first and last name are used to make sure that during the badge pickup it’s the correct person who is standing in front of us. Therefore we also request you to bring an ID to check.
The Date of Birth is used to make sure you are really the legal age of 18 on the day of the party.
Password is stored hashed so we do not have access to the real password. For more information regarding passwords, check chapter 1.2.1.
Email is used for sending emails regarding the registration and important information about the party only. We do not share your email address or subscribe you to newsletters or useless mail.

1.2.1 Passwords

Passwords are hashed and stored in our database. To insure the safety of your password, it's being hashed using SHA1 (storing uses a different algorithm) and the first 5 characters of that hash are sent to https://haveibeenpwned.com/. It then returns all leaked passwords starting with those 5 characters which the regsystem compares with your hashed password. If the password you try to use was leaked before, the system will reject the password. We do that to encourage you to use safe passwords. After the registration is submitted we do not share the hashed passwords with any instance.

1.3 Payment information

We do not store your payment information in our database. All the details we receive from the banks and users will stay in the bank system. With the information we see in the bank system we change the payment status in our system. The payment status and amount are stored in our database and are only used within the system itself. For example to send a reminder email or status update.

1.4 Third Parties

We do not share any information you give to us to third parties. We believe that sharing information without consent is against our moral. Therefore we do not use tracking or analytical cookies or codes on our website. We do not know who you are as long as you are not registered and logged in on our website.

1.5 Google ReCAPTCHA

We as summerbo.at are using Google ReCAPTCHA to check and prevent automated servers (“Bots”) from interacting and accessing our website or server. The service is provided by Google. (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043). This company guarantees that it will follow all EU data protection regulations and therefore we have chosen to use there services.
